%grep fsck /etc/defaults/rc.conf 
fsck_y_enable="NO"      # Set to YES to do fsck -y if the initial preen fails.
background_fsck="YES"   # Attempt to run fsck in the background where 
possible.
background_fsck_delay="60" # Time to wait (seconds) before starting the fsck.

The first one is the one you want.  See also the rc.conf(5) manpage.
